Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Although it was unclear why Han Feng had changed so much over the years, Yao Chen was undoubtedly gratified.

He was happier than anyone else that Han Feng could get better.

As for the rebellious disciple's next thrilling scheme, Yao Chen felt that he could only support him silently from behind.

His talent was limited, and he couldn't utter the arrogant words of Han Feng, who claimed that even the Soul Emperor was nothing special.

The student surpasses the master; Han Feng has truly caught up with him in every aspect.

Yao Chen pondered many things inside the Spirit Nourishing Gourd, and finally shook his head, choosing to clear his mind and begin meditating to cultivate the Soul Technique.

Inside the room, Han Feng sat alone at the coffee table, sipping slightly cool tea.

The teacher has already agreed to help me.

With his support on his journey forward, Han Feng will have much more confidence.

Like any other parent, Yao Chen's first reaction upon hearing this was that it was too dangerous for Han Feng, so he was somewhat resistant.

But after understanding Han Feng's determination, he simply nodded silently and said he would help and discuss it together.

"It's time for the matter of the Soul Palace to move to the next stage."

Han Feng gently stroked the cup, his calm tone carrying a hint of chilling killing intent.

----------

That evening, after dinner, everyone went to their rooms to rest early.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on Han Feng's door.

"Come in."

Gu Xun'er walked into the room with light steps.

She saw Han Feng meditating on a couch.

"Mr. Han, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Xun'er, is something the matter?"

Han Feng asked with a smile.

Gu Xun'er walked up to Han Feng and took out a fragment of a map from her bosom.

"Mr. Han, look at this map."

Han Feng took the incomplete map and glanced at it; his pupils instantly contracted.

Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

"Where did you get this?"

"Found in a cave, but hidden inside the skeleton's bones."

Gu Xun'er explained.

"Mr. Han really knew its secret."

Most people wouldn't understand the meaning behind the lotus pattern.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame..."

Han Feng sighed.

"Xun'er, you're so lucky."

While casually exploring a cave, I unexpectedly found a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map.

Gu Xun'er stuck out her little tongue.

"Actually, it's all thanks to Sister Xian'er. Without her discovering the cave, we wouldn't have found the treasure."

Han Feng smiled and returned the incomplete map to Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er didn't take it. "Mr. Han, this is for you."

"Give me?"

"I heard from Sister Xian'er that Mr. Han is searching for rare and exotic flames. This might be useful to you."

"That girl really told you everything."

Han Feng said helplessly.

He did not refuse Gu Xun'er's kindness.

Because he really wanted the incomplete map.

He already had one, and with the one Gu Xun'er gave him, that made two.

There were four fragments in total, and he has now collected half of them. The remaining fragment is known to appear at a future space trade fair.

So, after rounding, we've already collected three-quarters of it.

Once Han Feng finds the last one, he will be able to uncover the secret of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which ranks third on the Strange Flame Ranking.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you, this thing is really attractive to me."

Han Feng said.

Gu Xun'er smiled.

"I just hope Mr. Han won't reject Xun'er."

"Well then, Mr. Han, please get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer."

Gu Xun'er waved her hand and left with light steps, looking like she was in a good mood.

Han Feng held the fragmented map in his hand, took out the other copy, and pieced them together.

It was a match, as expected.

Han Feng sighed.

Gu Xun'er gave this treasure as a gift...

Actually, Han Feng could understand why she took it for herself.

After all, even the eight ancient clans would covet such a rare treasure as the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Gu Xun'er was well aware of the value of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but she still gave it to Han Feng.

When weighing the interests of her family, Gu Xun'er chose to disregard them.

Fortunately, she chose to ignore it; otherwise, it would have been much more difficult to obtain the fragmented map from the ancient clan.

Han Feng silently put away the incomplete map.

This kindness will have to be repaid in the future.

Having had contact with Gu Xun'er before, Han Feng had considered using her.

The eldest daughter of the ancient clan, and the only offspring of the clan chief.

When Han Feng discovered that she was all alone in the distant Xiao family, he knew that this was a shortcut to getting involved with the ancient clan.

So I made a point of spending some time with her.

Looking back now, those little schemes of ours were truly despicable.

They actually thought of using a child!

Han Feng felt a little guilty.

If more than a decade had passed and Gu Xun'er had become indifferent to him, Han Feng would not have felt this way.

But who could have imagined that Gu Xun'er would value Han Feng so much?

In comparison, Han Feng appears exceptionally cold-hearted.

Han Feng sighed.

Some things seem to require further consideration.

Han Feng did not initially prioritize the planning for the ancient clan.

Because the other party is the strongest family in the world, on par with the Soul Clan.

Even if Han Feng breaks through to the Half-Saint realm, he is nothing more than an ant in front of the other party.

Their strength is too great, and the likelihood of them listening to Han Feng's advice is minimal.

Therefore, it would be best to wait until they suffer losses at the hands of the Soul Clan before stepping forward to negotiate.

This was Han Feng's original plan.

But now that Gu Xun'er is involved, it's not impossible for Han Feng to be the first to form an alliance with the Gu Clan.

In that case, under Han Feng's prophetic plan, the ancient race's losses would be minimized.

However, how things will develop depends on the situation at that time.

Because of his personal feelings for Gu Xun'er, Han Feng hoped that the Gu clan would suffer fewer losses in the future.

This requires the joint efforts of Han Feng and Gu Xun'er.

Han Feng needs to break through to the Half-Saint level as soon as possible, or even to the Battle Saint level, in order to have a higher cultivation level before coming into contact with the ancient clans.

Gu Xun'er also needs to work hard to improve her strength, awaken her Dou Di bloodline, and gain greater control over the family.

----------

Han Feng cultivated through the long, dreamless night, and his soul realm was now infinitely close to the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

I've been cultivating steadily lately and haven't had time to go to the Soul Palace to get some cheat codes.

Han Feng decided that after bringing Zi Yan back from the Snake-People Clan, he would go and destroy two Soul Palaces to improve his soul realm.

After everyone got up, they went downstairs to the inn for breakfast.

While munching on a steamed bun, Xiao Yan asked Han Feng some questions about cultivation. Han Feng had also practiced all night and had gained a lot of insights into the "Mysterious Yang Technique".

Seeing how hard Xiao Yan was working, Han Feng answered his questions one by one, while also reminding him to hand in the medicine-refining assignment he had given last time.

Xiao Yan's face fell upon hearing this; he had almost forgotten about that other matter.

After breakfast, Han Feng led everyone on their journey.

After leaving Qingshan Town, Han Feng summoned the flying treasure ship and placed it on an open ground.

Xiao Yan walked onto the ship with a look of surprise. Before he could take a closer look, he heard someone beside him say, "Hold on tight."

The ship suddenly flew up, and Xiao Yan lost his balance, almost falling over as he was pressed down by the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

Suddenly, a cool, jade-like touch supported him from behind.

After regaining his balance, Xiao Yan quickly turned around and thanked him.

I wonder which beautiful woman it is...

As soon as he turned around, he saw a pair of snake-like eyes staring coldly at him.

The one who just helped Xiao Yan up was this large snake with blue wings.

This was a fourth-tier magical beast. Being stared at by it, Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Alright, Xiao Lan, come back."

Qinglin smiled and waved, and Xiaolan flicked its tongue and immediately flew back.

"Uncle Xiao, be careful."

Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose and nodded his thanks.

They're all monsters! At such a young age, they can actually command fourth-tier magical beasts.

"Junior Uncle, did you practice the Purple Cloud Wings yesterday?"

At this moment, Lin Xian'er suddenly walked over and asked.

She was quite curious about what flying combat techniques would be like if someone cultivated them.

"Ah... I haven't."

Xiao Yan replied.
